Maritime Navigation Exercises

The document provides 4 examples of solving parallel sailing problems using a traverse table or calculator to determine a ship's new position given its original position, course, and distance traveled. It gives the information required, such as original longitude and latitude, course, and distance, to calculate the new longitude and latitude. The problems demonstrate how to use trigonometric functions of cosine and the relationship between degrees, minutes, and miles to solve for unknown values.

Topic: parallel or plane sailing problems using traverse table or calculators


Learning Outcome: LO2.5 Explain the information required in a parallel or plane sailing problems using
traverse table or calculators
Solve problems for Parallel sailing:
1. Determine your course and distance by parallel sailing when going from 23° N, 075° 52' W to 23° N,
061° 12’W

Long.1= 075° 52' W Dist = Dlo x cos Lat


Long.2= 061° 12’W = 880 x cos (23°)
Dlo° = 14° 40’ E Dist.= 810
Dlo = 880 miles T/co= 090° T

2. Find the new longitude if a vessel in Latitude 54° N, Longitude 26° 17’ W steams on course of 090° T for
785 nm?

Dlo = Dep ÷ Cos Lat Long1= 26° 17' W


= 785 ÷ cos (54°) Dlo° = 22° 15' E
Dlo= 1335.5/60 miles Long2= 04° 02' W
Dlo°= 22° 15'

3. By sailing due west for distance of 335 miles, a vessel changed her longitude by 6° 15’. What latitude
was the vessel in?

Dlo°= 6° 15'
x 60 Cos Lat = Dep ÷ Dlo
Dlo = 375 miles = 335 / 375
Lat = 26° 42'

4. A vessel in initial position 55° 00’ S steams due east for 255 miles. Calculate the difference in longitude.

Dlo = Dep ÷ Cos Lat


= 225 ÷ cos (55°00’) ÷ 60

Dlo= 444 miles


Dlo°= 7° 24'
